Evening Primrose Oil?

Is anyone or has anyone tried taking evening primrose oil during pregnancy? My cousin took it during her pregnancy and has told me to start taking it orally now and possibly internally starting at 37 weeks. I was just curious about what everyone here thought. Should I check with my OB before taking it? Thanks for your help!

I spoke to my OB about it and she said that she doesn't believe that it does anything but that there was no harm in trying it so I have been using it for a couple weeks. I was 1.5cm dilated on Tuesday and will be checked again on Thursday.
